The Trust's seven principles for looking after the Lakes

Whether we're swimming, cycling, horse-riding or walking the dogs, we can all help to look after the Lake District.

We're proud to care for over 20% of the Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That includes 90 farms and as much as 70% of the world’s Herdwick sheep.
